Key market segments the company is targeting include urban logistics, last-mile delivery, freight, and corporate fleet operations.
According to industry data, approximately 200,000 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles were sold nationwide in Mexico in 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of over 70%. Manuel Genel, General Manager of BYD Trucks Mexico, stated that the arrival of these vehicles reflects the company's confidence in Mexico's leadership in the regional transition to clean mobility and creates new opportunities for businesses to integrate zero-emission technology into their logistics operations.
